"The winds around Wellington Airport were still around 30/35
knots (55/65 kph) but it was a bit calmer at Kapiti".

The helicopter was able to land near the hostel. Once there the WFA
paramedic found that Kapiti Island staff and other travellers had
the patient well prepared and once she was assessed she was put in
the helicopter for the 15 minute flight to Wellington Hospital.

The woman arrived at hospital at about 8:40 pm and after being
treated in the Emergency Department she was admitted to hospital
where she is currently listed in a stable condition.
